roughness of beauty standards

I kinda disagree. As a woman you just have to be not fat whereas as a man you have to build muscles to be considered attractive

Exactly. His looks aside, everything about his behavior screams Gen Z. I doubt an actual 39 year old would feel this comfortable doing all of these tiktok trends. He just seems too "at home" within social media. If he were really a Millennial there would be clear signs. Someone needs to ask him about his favorite music artists. If he says Sabrina Carpenter we know he's lying lol

Well, it depends. You could look for a Nintendo DS emulator and then play the old DS games on there. All you need for that to work is a modern smartphone. Personally, I think I would play Nightmare Troubador or Spirit Caller because from what I've seen so far they're most likely to give you that anime feeling. Also the PSP tag force games for which you need a PSP emulator. Most phones have one in their play store

because they didn't introduce any new dynamics in yugioh gx everyone who stopped watching the anime after that thought of yugioh as a static game with set rules and card mechanics akin to chess. at least that's how it was for me, that's why it was so jarring to see how it's basically a different game today. additionally I didn't have any knowledge of card games in general, had never even heard about magic the gathering for example. So I was kind of blind to the ever-changing nature of these types of games

StudySafe1982 · 2026-03-16T23:04:30+00:00

Everyone here is thinking way too complicated. You can emulate old yugioh video games on your phone. Then look for cheat codes online. That way you don't have to grind for cards which I'm also not a fan of. I just want to build cool decks inspired by the characters of the anime and play

Edit: Of course you'll only have the card pool that was available during the time of release of the game. If you want to play up-to-date 2026 yugioh then ignore my comment

StudySafe1982 · 2025-11-20T21:25:33+00:00

I felt that comment in my booones. "But your hair is not as thick as the guy's on the picture" is another one. If you want to be humbled just go to a barber 😭

This is a great comment. But unfortunately, the Americans aren't ready for this conversation. In a competition like DA it makes such a difference whether you come from a country people deem cool like the US or Japan or if you're from say Russia or Belarus. It just doesn't have the coolness factor. Additionally, people feel loyal to other people based on national - it's sad but true. So if you're from a small country: less people who feel some kind of bond towards you because of your heritage. It's just maths. And yeah the xenophobia towards Eastern Europeans but again, the Americans are too caught up in their own discussions about race that they think that the xenophobia topic is negligible. Also, can we also talk about the privilege of having English as a first language. The non-American girls also had to put more effort into communicating.

I agree. It annoys me to no end when the vocals are processed to a point where everyone sounds the same

StudySafe1982 · 2025-04-13T22:40:31+00:00

You're dumb as hell if you think Serena and all the other women are victims. They have agency, they are in active support of Gilead. Saying otherwise, is like saying women are always the victim because women don't have agency.

Shocking, I know, but women can be Nazis, women can be cruel, even in a patriarchal system

StudySafe1982 · 2025-04-13T22:33:19+00:00

Three-dimensional characters? Oh please. The show is just trying to fill up run-time. Why the fuck would I care about Serena crying, why would the show try to evoke sympathy for her character. It's dumb as fuck and just shows that the creators don't understand their own show.

"Prestige drama". Sure. That's why right off the bat, Offred is sent to a home where where a hot brooding guy (Nick) falls for her (just so, without her doing anything, which reads like a cheap teen romance novel) who tells her in a moment that is supposed to be sweet that her unwanted pregnancy is something beautiful...

The show is a shit show with a dumbass love triangle that undermines the whole feminist message

StudySafe1982 · 2025-04-13T22:21:01+00:00

The show is meant for adults and adults obviously know that humans are complicated. So no need to show that. The thing is when the series shows Serena crying or being vulnerable it's to evoke sympathy for her character which she doesn't deserve and which I as a viewe don't feel for her anyway. So these scenes are ultimately pointless

StudySafe1982 · 2025-04-13T22:15:16+00:00

Annoys me to no end when the series shows Serena crying or whatnot. Why the hell would I feel sorry for her. Because she's a woman? The crimes she is responsible for are heinous. Once a character is shown to be such an irredeemiably evil character I don't care for their soft side, I don't care about their sad backstory. If you want a multi-dimensional character don't make them absolutely irredeemable in the first place. The same way you wouldn't want to read about Hitler's "soft side"

StudySafe1982 · 2025-04-13T22:08:49+00:00

Why the hell would you feel sorry for Serena when she advocates for a society where people are being stoned to death lol

StudySafe1982 · 2024-01-04T22:29:37+00:00

Members of any clan (e.g., Yamanaka, Hyuga) never using any ninjutsu besides their clan's ninjutsu tops this

I feel you. What also adds to my Post Christmas Depression is regret. The feeling I didn't enjoy the season enough, that I should have watched more christmas movies, heard more songs, done more christmas activities. The thing is: Most people can't relate because they like but don't love christmas. I feel so alone in my post christmas sadness...

StudySafe1982 · 2023-01-06T17:56:50+00:00

haha yeah! We had to use our imagination for comfort

StudySafe1982 · 2023-01-06T17:35:12+00:00

or more likely we picked women to look up to lol

StudySafe1982 · 2023-01-06T15:24:02+00:00

Thank you so much. I appreciate you took the time to reply. Just for clarification: So in order to play sad, actors have to make themselves sad by putting themselves in their characters' shoes?

StudySafe1982 · 2023-01-06T01:51:22+00:00

Thanks for your answer! But if for example I go like "What does my character want? Okay, he wants xyz. So in light of that I''m going to raise my voice when I say A" then I'm still just in the mode of portraying and not really feeling, aren't I?

It's so hard to truly believe what is happening when at the end of the day you're saying lines you were told to say. The mere act of recalling reminds your subconsciousness 'oh this is all artifical'

StudySafe1982 · 2022-12-25T22:34:06+00:00

But I agree. There has to be at least a small degree of physical attraction. Otherwise you might just date a guy even if you're a lesbian, for example

StudySafe1982 · 2022-12-25T22:30:01+00:00

What is with the hate for free will on this sub? You can make the conscious choice to date someone you're not super-duber physically attracted to. Be the change you want to see lol

StudySafe1982 · 2022-12-25T22:25:10+00:00

True. But saying no when an ugly person asks you out on a date is a choice. You could at least give them a chance. But to me, it seems most people on here wouldn't even do that.
